BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Class 264

[0005] Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating Process

[0006] Process for molding, casting and or plastic shaping of plastic material to make or reproduce articles of a definite shape, in this case, plastic shaped pasta product. Each mold will have a particular shape and will retain molded shape after it is removed from the enclosed material.

[0007] Subclass: 78

[0008] Process which includes the step of dyeing an article or workpiece, in this case, the pasta shaped plastic product which is dye susceptible and when spun into a coagulatory bath which contains a reactant for the dye susceptible material, will produce color.

[0009] Class 446

[0010] Amusement Devices: Toys

[0011] Principle purpose is for the amusement or recreation of children, wherein there is physical interaction between the person and the device.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Molded plastic colored pasta shapes for recreation use (craft kits) including the making of necklaces, bracelets, frames and magnets.

[0013] Currently, standard uncooked pasta to use for crafts is very difficult to color (an involved painting process) and breaks easily because it is uncooked food product. Manufacturing precolored, plastic pasta shapes would eliminate the use of painting pasta and using food product for craft use.
